Ronald Koeman discussion

Well the difference this season is 22m, plus the the 30m we would get from the Europa.

WTF! This is the mathematics of Jethro Bodean.

Please show your cyphering Jethro.

We've done this about three times in nearly 20 games.

You are so 'half glass full' aren't you toff.

I admire that, and as you know I think you're a good poster.

But every now and then, things like this make me want to stick my feet in a blender.

Even in "good" seasons we've played decent football in less than half the games. 2012/13 - 2013/14 we played some nice stuff but there was a lot of dross.

Ferguson, Mourinho and Wengers best teams had to grind it out most of the time. But Okay, that's football

Pretty sure I just did.

You can't pluck figures out the air. Who do you think you are, Robert Elstone?

Finishing 7th in this league is nothing to sniff at, the team above us have spent ludicrous money building teams over long periods of time. Sign some players in January, potentially qualify for Europa League. Thats a great debut season, hopefully we can push on and build on the squad and the club - then play champions league football in our new stadium on the docks!

League position is determined by points , points are gained by winning or drawing. Therefore the higher up the table you finish the less times you've been defeated. Or put simply the higher up the table we finish the more times I walk out of the ground happy. The lower down the table we finish the more times I walk out the ground with a gob tripping me. It really is that simple . It's not rocket science, and it's not irrelevant. It's the whole point of competing in a league.

Jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies?

No mate. 7th is still 7th. And it's still nowhere.

Your a weird one davek ... so 7th is 7th.. ok... that's fair enough...

Yet you constantly argue that el fraudo was better than Moyes because he got 72 points in a season... (5th)

Even tho Moyes got 4th and a number of 5th and 6th place finishes?

And he done this with no net spend...

You literally would argue with your shadow

Excellent realistic post with achievable and fair goals...

He also had us 5th. That's a finishing position Koeman will never take us to.

Massive statement that is dave. Nor I cannot see Koeman would get us 11th-13th two seasons in a row.

 

[hktoffee]

No mate. 7th is still 7th. And it's still nowhere.

Then 5th=7th=15th

Which is your formula.

Yep. Cyphering was his strongpoint too. His and Mout's. Top of the class by at least 2 foot.

You answered your own question right at that point.

 

[hktoffee]

Moyes got 4th X 1, 5th x 2, 6th X 2, 7th X 3. He is superior to the previous manager.

Big Joe won the FA Cup. Another greater achievement don't you agree?

No, I dont think he would either. I think he knows what side his bread is buttered on and will do enough to have supporters pacified, though not enthused, thrilled and dreaming of great football and success - which takes a manager who has a vision and acts boldly in every game. That came off for Roberto in one season and failed in two others. C'est la vie.

He's a steady as you go boss.
